Robin “ROBZ” Safar grew up in the Stockholm suburb of Visättra, where he faced a challenging environment that shaped his resilience and drive. He discovered boxing at 19 as a way to change the direction of his life, and under the guidance of trainer Ibn Cason, he has developed into a standout professional with an undefeated record of 19-0, including 13 knockouts.

Safar made a major statement in the summer of 2024 with a breakthrough victory over former light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, instantly establishing himself as a rising force in the cruiserweight division. In March 2025, he made his Golden Boy debut with a fifth-round TKO win over Roberto Silva in Cancun, Mexico, and followed it up with a unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Derrick Miller Jr. on the undercard of Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Erickson Lubin at Dickies Arena.

Now ranked No. 4 by the WBO, No. 9 by Ring Magazine, and No. 13 by both the WBC and IBF, Safar continues his climb toward a world title opportunity. His rapid rise in the sport reflects his discipline, development and determination to reach the top of the cruiserweight division.
